Staff at a WA mining and construction company who won $5000 to throw an Australia Day workplace party have chosen to share the prize with people affected by the recent Perth Hills bushfires.

Pilbara Access is hosting the event for victims and volunteer crews involved in fighting the devastating blaze that destroyed more than 50 homes.

HR Manager Nita Lyster won the money on behalf of the WA company in the Australia Day work celebration competition run by WAtoday.com.au, 96FM radio, the WA Australia Day Council and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry."The real Australian way is actually to give back to the community and help people out." said Ms Lyster.

"A lot of people lost their houses, or they have to clean up the mess, so I thought a nice thing to do would be for Pilbara Access to volunteer their time and host a party with fun activities," Ms Lyster said.

96FM Breakfast Show hosts Ian 'Blackers' Blackley, Carmen Braidwood and Brad 'Fitzi' Fitzgerald will join in the celebrations. There'll also be face painting for the kids.
